Good news: We won the Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin despite the million that the GOP & Musk poured in. While the GOP won the two Congressional seats in Florida, the narrow margin in a heavy GOP districts, down to around 14 points, has caused some Republican anxiety about their prospects in the national mid-term congressional elections in 2025. Even before results were announced, Democrats predicted that their progress here in Florida would be a harbinger of larger success in next year's congressional mid-term elections. That remains to be seen, that why we ALL need to vote and stop the Save Act.
